“Hm,” Kors cleared his throat, “I see you are packed, there are saddled horses in the yard, were you going somewhere? Am I in the way?”
“Did you come alone?” Lis answered impatiently with a question.
“Yes.” And seeing the obvious disappointment and annoyance in the eyes of the Fox, Kors smiled with a token smile and added: “I left my people in the town near the fair.”
“And you were not afraid to come here like this? Alone?” Lis grimaced.
“I have told you,” Kors stressed the last word, “I left a regiment of my soldiers in the town.”
“How many?! A regiment?!” Lis shook his head, as if driving away the obsession. He could not hide his emotions.
“Three battalions of three hundred men each, not counting the servicemen.”
“Where did you get so many warriors?” Lis was stunned.
And Kors laughed:
“Well… I'm pretty rich, Lis. Lis? Is that what I should call you? We never communicated closely, unfortunately, the military department for some reason believed that you were in their competence.”
“Indeed, unfortunately,” Lis smiled his trademark grin, he looked pleased and no longer so dumbfounded. “But no matter what is being done, everything is for the best! But now, I'm sure we'll make wonderful friends.”
Kors raised an eyebrow.
“I thought so too. And so I came alone, as if I were visiting friends.” He turned his gaze to Nikto and Arel.
“Make yourself at home!” Nikto said.
And Karina looked at him gratefully.
“Valentine,” Nikto ordered, “bring food and wine for our guest.”
Kors relaxed a little.
“Let's forget the old times!”
“Yes of course!”
Nikto raised a glass:
“Let's drink to the meeting!”
“For the meeting!” Kors agreed, and they drank wine. Everyone, except for Arel, who still didn’t know how to eat and drink, without removing the mask, but lifting only its lower part. Kors noticed this: “You don't take off your masks? I would like to chat with you, Nikto, seeing your face.”
“I beg your pardon,” Nikto said, and it was clear that this was not for real, “but, unfortunately, I can't take it off now, since we were going on the road, and I glue it along the edge to my face and now you fucking won’t pull it off… that is… it is no longer possible to take off.”
“Yes! I'm delaying you!” Kors stood up.
“No, no, not at all,” Lis also jumped up, “we were just going to get to the river and find a good place for crossing.”
“So far?”
“Yes.”
“But why?”
“To go further.”
“Further, as far as I know, is the village of Riverside, the territory of the Reds and the border fortress.”
“Exactly. We're going to take this fortress.”
“I saw that you have soldiers, but are they enough?”
“Yes, there are few of them, but why not try?”
“I'm afraid that this is too tough nut to crack, and maybe it was worth training your army,” Kors chuckled, at these words, “on smaller goals at first?”
Nikto turned to Lis:
“Lis, show him the map and tell everything.”
Lis spread a map of the area on the table and began to explain. He very quickly, competently and clearly outlined all positions and cleared areas.
And Kors was impressed, the grin left his face. Karina, watching her father, saw this and was proud of Lis. He was a born warrior and now he was in his element, communication with Nikto and Arel clearly led him to degradation, and now he seemed to have perked up.
“I'm impressed,” Kors said. “It's fair. Handsomely. No unnecessary movements, everything is very economical and at the same time productive.”
“Yes, we are not as stupid as you thought,” Nikto answered, and Lis looked at him condemningly, just as before, Arel always looked at Tol when he blurted out something out of place.
“I beg your pardon, I probably just judged the people of the prince by their master,” Kors answered with his own coin, and poor Arel, who had not said a word during all this time, again remained silent.
Kors no longer looked at him and at Nikto either, he asked Lis a few clarifying questions and received comprehensive answers. Karina saw that her father and her fiancé clearly found a common language, meanwhile as two warriors, but still.
“So how many soldiers do you have now? I didn't understand how you separate them, to be honest, you have non-standard platoons and squads.”
“Lis divided Arel’s militiamen into the red manner,” said Nikto, “the red ones form the units a little differently, you should know, Kors?”
“Yes, I know, of course, it's just that it's black.”
“Well, they are black, and our commander is red, and he is more used to it.”
“It's more convenient for me to command,” said Lis. “I'm used to the scheme of reds. What difference does it make that they are black?”
“I see,” it was obvious that Kors was a little stunned by such a blatant disposition, “and the unclean ones?”
“The unclean ones are mine,” and Nikto named the number of the unclean ones, and how they were divided.
“Are you joking? Such inconsistency?! If I bring my warriors, who are formed according to the classical scheme and the rules of the black army, how will we bring all this to a common denominator?”
“Let's figure it out,” Lis smiled, “I also know the charter of blacks.”
“So, if you don’t go into details, you have two detachments of militias, a little more than a hundred people. And about three hundred unclean half-bloods, which are divided into three companies, and in one company there are fifty unclean, and in the other more than a hundred, and each with its own commander.”
“Yes,” Nikto answered him, “Nija has few soldiers, and Zaf has more. I cannot divide them equally and give Zaf's warriors under the command of Nija or Tazh.”
“That is, each commander has his own soldiers as property, this is not a very suitable alignment. Soldiers should be assigned depending on the task at hand, and not on who their commander is.”
Nikto shrugged his shoulders:
“Nothing can be done here, they are unclean.”
“You also have red ones, I noticed, in the yard?”
“Yes, the red warriors who went over to our side. There are sixty of them.”
“But they are red!”
“Every warrior is dear to us. They went over to our side.”
“But they will betray as soon as the opportunity presents itself!”
“Let them try, and half of them are former deserters of the Red Army who fled from the Red order. Ordinary guys in bad circumstances will come in handy,” Lis interjected.
“And many people know and remember Lis, have heard about him and want to be in the army of the legendary Sigmer.”
“Come on, Nik,” Lis was a little embarrassed, “they just like the local peasant women.”
“What are you doing?! Why do you mix black with red, however… more on that later… and you really count every warrior.”
“Father, reds are people too!” Karina intervened, fearing that now talk about the purity of blood, race and human waste might begin. It's a good thing that they didn't say that soon several half-breeds will be born from the red and unclean!
“Yes,” Kors shook his head, “let's leave this topic, you are not noble blacks and just don’t understand the meaning of the true code of purity. Let's go back to the territories. This area would also be worth checking out,” he said, bending over the map,
“Yes, but it is on the maps and it will be possible to draw up a plan here, focusing on them and not wasting time on exploration. Not to attract the attention of the enemy,” answered Lis, and Karina noticed with relief that he didn’t attach any importance to the hints that were offensive to every black, and as if nothing had happened continued the conversation. “How is he used to all this pretentious husk of blacks,” Karina thought with some regret, “he doesn’t react at all and doesn’t hear. How many times have they said this to him?” Nikto didn’t react either. Poor half-breeds, they are so accustomed that they don’t even hear that they are being insulted. And Karina, for the umpteenth time, mentally thanked the Gods for being born with dark eyes and hair, like all black ones.
